Jill Beitzel, the daughter of Gretchen Rossi’s late fiance Jeff Beitzel is speaking out. You would be suprised to hear what she has to say. Jill recently spoke out to Bravo Fan, and below are some excerpts from the interview –

Are you and anyone in your family still in touch with her?
Jake, Lizzy, and I all still talk to her.

How have you guys held up against all these new revelations that she may have been cheating on your dad while he was in the hospital? Jake has been having a lot of issues with the speculations being made. All I know is what Gretchen has told me which was that Jay was a good friend who she had seen a ways back, my dad never liked that guy and obviously for a good reason.

Jill goes on to speak out against Jay Photologou. She states, “I think Jay is a selfish manipulative jerk, and just wants the exposure from the story. He doesn’t give a rats ass that when he degrades Gretchen he is also degrading my father, and that makes things a lot harder for our family to be okay with.”And we couldn’t agree more.

The question on everyone’s mind is who is Jay? and was Gretchen cheating on her dying fiance, Jeff Beitzel?

Well we have the full story here and it seems Gretchen has been a naughty girl. Gretchen denied any romantic involvement with her ex Jay Photoglou since she started dating Jeff but the photo below says otherwise. The dirty website posted the photo below that shows Gretchen and Jay kissing. The worst part about the photo? Gretchen is wearing her engagement ring given to her by her late fiance Jeff.

Jay Photoglou, the classy guy that he is also sold Gretchen out to the National Enquirer earlier this week. Jay was paid an undisclosed amount for his story in which he claimed he was dating Gretchen the entire time she was with Jeff. Jay disclosed, “She spent her days at the hospital with her dying fiancé, but her nights with me.”

The final evidence was Jeana admitting on the Reunion episode that she had seen Jay’s clothing in Gretchen’s bedroom. All the evidence seems to be pointing to Gretchen seeing Jay the same time she was with Jeff. Now while no one knows the arrangement Jeff and Gretchen might have had regarding their relationship, we must say that Gretchen has got to make better choices in who she sleeps with and confides in.

You can find more pictures of Jay with Gretchen on Jay’s private Myspace page.

In a new interview with People magazine, Gretchen finally speaks out about her fiance Jeff, Tamra and this season of the Real Housewives.

Below are some excerpts from the interview –

How are you holding up?
Every day is a different emotion. I wake up and either I’m happy or I’m really sad so it really just depends on the day. It’s kind of like a moving river … there’s always something new that has come to the surface.

Do you have any regrets about doing the show during such difficult time?
Of course I do. When Jeff and I agreed to do the show, he was doing really well. We actually thought that he was going to go into remission. His doctors were very optimistic. Unfortunately, cancer has a mind of its own and a month after we started shooting, he got extremely sick. He got pneumonia and had to go back into the hospital. Then the cancer just really started to take over his body more quickly than we could get to it with chemo and everything else we were trying.

Have you heard from supportive fans?
The feedback has been extremely positive. So many people that are caretakers have said, “Thank you for showing that you can still go out and live your life, you don’t have to live as if you have the cancer as well.”

What did you make of Vicki and Tamra’s comments in the finale?
It’s really disappointing. I feel like the women didn’t give me — in particular Tamra and Vicki — didn’t give me the opportunity to show them what was really going on between me and Jeff and the love we shared and what the true story was. Unfortunately, they just wanted to believe what they believe. At the end of the day, I know I can’t really help what other people are going to say about me and I’m just going to try and be the same person that I would be in any situation.

What did you make of their allegations that you copied them or stalked them by wanting to have a motorcycle like Tamra or drink the same thing as Vicki?
It’s absolutely hilarious. I have a lot bigger things going on in my life. My fiancé was dying of cancer. They acted like I sat around every week just watching to see what Tamra and Vicki had on the show. Last time I checked, I didn’t know that Tamra had the patent on pink, and last time I checked, I didn’t know that the dirty martini was an abnormal drink.

Are you now friends with Vicki and Tamra?
I would like to be friends with them and I think that if they gave me the opportunity to get to know me better that they would see me in a different light. But at this point they would not be somebody that I would call a friend.

Will you do another season of The Real Housewvies of Orange County?
You’re going to have to watch and see what happens.

There is bound to be some major drama going down tonight on the Real Housewives of Orange County Finale. Bravo posted some clips on their site and it is bound to be an all out war between Tamra and Gretchen. Bravo offers a video preview of the finale – Here.

The OC Register also reveals some details on what we should expect tonight below –

“Cohen asks Gretchen about fiancé Jeff Beitzel’s passing. He died on Sept. 13, 2008 at age 54. It’s been four or five months now, she says. “His very last moments here on earth, I got to be right with him.” She battles back the tears. “He just wrapped his arms around me, and he told me, ‘I love you.'”

She says her parents showed up to the hospital, and told her she had to let go.

“I told him, ‘It’s OK to go, honey, it’s OK. We love you.’ And he took his last breath and he let go of me. So, it was extremely emotional for me.”

Cohen clarifies that Gretchen and Jeff never got married. “No, we did not,” Gretchen confirms. “I did not want to get married in a hospital room. It just wasn’t something that I wanted anybody to ever say I married him for the wrong reasons.”

Cohen turns his attention to Jeana. He asks the original housewife about visiting her family back in Wisconsin. Jeana recounts talking to her father and then says she had a “Lynne moment.” Cohen asks Jeana to explain what that means, and Jeana says she said something stupid to her father.

Lynne flinches. “Ow, that hurt,” she says. But Lynne brushes the insult off, and says, “I’m over it already. I’ve learned. I’m over it. It’s all right. It’s all good. I still love you baby.”

But as Jeana continues her story, it turns out that Lynne is not over it. She starts to cry like a baby.

Cohen then puts Tamra on the spot. He inquires about Tamra’s seven-course “etiquette dinner,” describing it as a “dinner from hell.” Remember? It was the notorious evening when Tamra and Vicki conspired to get Gretchen “naked wasted,” and Tamra’s son Ryan almost hooked up with the voluptuous victim.

“What did you mean when you said you wanted to get Gretchen ‘naked wasted’?” Cohen asks.

“I don’t even know,” Tamra replies. “At that point, we had drank (sic) a lot. That was towards the end of the night. We were all drunk.”

She admits, “I was the most ashamed, the most embarrassed I’ve ever been in my entire life, and I can’t even make excuses for myself. What I did was wrong.”

Cohen turns to Gretchen. “What went through your mind when you saw the episode?”

We can’t tell you her immediate response, but obviously she wasn’t pleased. When the topic of Tamra’s moral character comes up, Gretchen says, “When you got me naked wasted and said you wanted to make me do something stupid? That moral character?”

The Real Housewives of Orange County Star Slade Smiley was arrested and released from jail this weekend, and he is speaking out. Smiley, 40, was arrested Friday by Costa Mesa police on a $10,000 outstanding civil contempt warrant after authorities said he fell behind on child-support payments for his son Grayson, who is battling a rare form of brain cancer.

The OC Register reports that Slade spoke out on Monday after being released. Slade said the following in a released statement by his representative.

“My son is very ill and we have been working on resolving the issue of support versus his enormous medical bills with the appropriate agencies for several months now. It is sad that individuals would take advantage of the situation in an attempt to defame and discredit me in such a public manner. For those who know me, there is nothing more important than my children.”

Has Kara fallen into the pressures of Orange County by getting breast implants? It seems like it. The dirty website posted a before and after photo of Kara which looks to be showing the OC star looking very different in the chest area.

Kara is the 18 year old daughter of OC regular Jeana Keough. So did she or didn’t she? You be the judge. We must say though that Kara looked just fine in the before picture.
